Hey everybody Kelsey here and welcome back to Gal. Today
I'm super excited that adobe has announced media replacement for
Motion Graphics templates, or as I like to call mogrts.
the file extension for Motion Graphics templates, and if you guys
are new to mow gert's essentially they were created so you Can easily
create lower third templates or logo reveal templates or Transitions and
be able to drag and drop them from your essentil Graphics panel and
easily customize it to save time.
And now with this new media replacement now you can have an
image file or a movie file be replaceable.
So you could have a logo opener with a logo and save it as a template and
change that logo for every video that you're making or change the video
file that's playing in the background.
So for this video I'm going to be using this broadcast package
template.
I'm going to show you how to add your own media replacement with that
file, which I've included down in the description box below and how did
then export it as a Motion Graphics template that you can use inside of
Premiere Pro.
Now this update is currently available in the public beta of
adobe right now.
So that means that you need to update the most recent public beta and you
open it up there and enable The media replacement from the beta menu and
you'll be able to start testing this out and using it.
But before we jump in a little bit about today's sponsor then IQ.
I first learned about vid IQ when I was at the social media conference
in San Diego.
I just saw their banner and I was like, what's that and I heard that
other YouTubers were using it and they were successful and so I
reached out to them and signed up and I've been using it ever since
because I've seen a huge boost and subscribers and Views on my videos.
So how does it work the way it does?
It is through SEO optimization keyword searches and helping you
research trending video topics.
So I use the Boost plan a vid IQ, which essentially gives me
suggestions for titles and keywords that will help move my video up in
terms of search engine optimization.
So it will suggest keywords that will help improve the searchability of my
Videos and it has a checklist on the right saying hey, did you add this
to a playlist to you?
Add a card to your video to connect it to other videos.
Did you add a YouTube and Screen?
Did you add a PIN to comment to your video all of these different things
impact the search ability and success of your video.
Another really cool thing about vid IQ that I love is that you can
preview what your YouTube thumbnail will look like based off of a search
keyword.
So If you're producing a video on let's say Motion Graphics templates,
you can search to see how your thumbnail will perform against the
other existing videos.
So there's a lot of really cool things that you can do including
searching for trending topics in see how many views per hour these videos
are getting so it can help you come up with ideas that are trending in
the moment now, so if you want to get vid IQ, you can take advantage of

Just leave a comment below.
Thank you so much for thank you for sponsoring and let's go ahead and
jump into the tutorial.
So here inside of After Effects.
I have this business broadcast package template for after effects
that I downloaded from envato elements and one of the compositions
I'd like to turn into a motion.
Fix template is the sponsored one comp.
So if I double-click to open this up, you can see here that it's this
hexagon sponsored by animation and we can put a logo in here which we can
turn into a media replacement.
So the first step is to replace this logo and have an image file ready to
be put into the essential Graphics panel.
So let's double-click to open up this pre-comp sponsored logo double click
and here we can.
Can drag in any logo that you want I'm going to drag in the vid IQ
logo.
So now that I have the vid IQ logo in here, I'm going to press s on my
keyboard to scale this down.
And from here.
This is where we can open up the essential Graphics panel and start
adding media to customize our template.
So go up to window and go to essential Graphics from here.
We need to select the primary composition.
So from here, we're going to select the sponsored one comp as our
primary.
So just select the drop-down you can see I have a ton of compositions
here because this is a template you made as have a couple of them here.
I'm actually going to press s to jump down to the S section here and I'm
going to select sponsored one.
Then we can name it.
I'm just going to call it sponsored by hexagon and then we can drag in
this media file.
It can be a movie file or it can be a logo file and when you drag and drop
it voila, it creates a media placeholder and from here we can
just call it replace media.
And now when we go back to our main comp you'll see that actually it's
filled in white this logo because it has a fill effect on this
precomposed composition here.
If you press a key on your keyboard, it will show you that there's
actually a fill if you want to be able to turn this fill on and off
inside of the Motion Graphics template.
You can actually take this all mask feature here and drag this parameter
into the essential Graphics panel and Here when you select off it turns it
on and off again.
So you can have the choice of the end user to be able to turn this fill on
or off so we can call this turn fill on / off and if you want to be able
to customize the color of the fill, this is where you can actually drag
in this color fill layer.
Now.
There is an expression attached to this color.
So to turn that off you can hold the alt or the option key if you're on a
Mac and That it'll turn it off and it will go to read by default, but
that's okay because if we drag this color parameter and to these simple
Graphics panel, we can then select red and make it white and then your
end user can decide what that fill color will be another thing.
You may want to control its the position in the scale of this logo.
So if you go back to this sponsored logo and press P to bring up the
position controls you can also drag this into To the panel and let's go
back and press s to bring up the scale and drag and drop this here.
Now.
This will enable the end-user to then use these parameters to reposition
and rescale the logo.
However, they like especially if they're going to replace this logo.
It's important to include these parameters so that way you can
rescale it and reposition it to fit the logo that you're replacing.
So there's probably going to be a few other things.
You want your user to control such as the text and the Color of the
background here.
So for the text the sponsored by text, you can actually toggle down
here and go to text and within that is Source text and that's what you
can drag into the panel to be editable.
So here we can call this edit text and so they can control what this
says.
If you want to edit sponsored by it can be brought to you by or
whatever.
The person wants to type in better yet.
You can select edit properties.
And choose font properties.
So if you want to enable a custom font selection check that enable
font size adjustment and able faux Styles and hit OK in this will allow
the end user to change the font in the size Etc.
If you want to be able to edit the color of the text.
This is another thing that is related to an effect added here called Phil
just like before it also has an expression tied to it.
So we want to Move that in this specific case.
So again just hit the ALT key on a PC or the option key on a Mac and
select that stopwatch and drag drop this color up and we can call this
text color and then we can change this to White and that way you can
edit the color.
All right, there's a couple of their parameters we want to change here,
but you'll notice that we can't find the color of the hexagon outline or
the fill behind it.
That's because It's a hidden layer in this template.
If you guys are ever using templates, you might see that there's this
little shy guy here.
You can unselect that and it will reveal all of the Hidden layers.
So here you can see there's a hexagon line shape.
If we toggle that open you'll see that there's a fill here for the
blue color and an expression.
So let's go ahead and turn off this expression by hitting alt option
key, and then we can take this color and bring it up and we can call this
outline color.
And let's say we want to change it back to Blue just like that and if
we go down you'll also see that there's a mask hexagon and a hexagon
the hexagon here is actually the fell behind it.
But to make this more obvious, let's actually delete the background
layer, which is black.
So I'm just going to delete that and if we turn on the transparency,
you'll now see that it's transparent behind this graphic and you can see
that the hexagon has a black fill so underneath the hexagon.
Let's go.
Fax underneath fill and the expression let's go ahead and press
alt option and turn that off and drag this color in here and let's call
this hexagon fill and let's bring this back to black like so another
thing you may want to be able to control as the opacity of this
background.
So here let's drag this opacity here and here you'll be able to control
this opacity.
So let's call this.
Hexagon opacity so we did all of the main color parameters here and
customizations.
But what if you want to control the overall position and scale of this
graphic, so if you want it to be a more in the center a little bit
smaller on the left, this is where we can click and lasso and select all
of these layers right click and select precompose and we can just
leave it as pre-comp one hit.
Okay, and then you can toggle down and there's some Overall transform
tools and then you can drag the scale into the panel and the position in
this will allow the users in Premiere Pro to change the position if they
want so they can scale it down reposition it like that.
So let's say we want to leave it as is just like this what we can do
before we export it is set the poster frame so that way it will have a
preview of what it looks like and then select export Motion Graphics
template first.
I'll ask you to save the project.
So you'll want to save it if you're working with a template.
You'll probably have to save it as a converted file, which it will do
automatically.
I'll just call this V3 and save and then the export as Motion Graphics
template window will come up you can save it to your local templates
folder which will automatically appear in your Premiere Pro
essential Graphics panel.
If you're sending this to somebody else you can save it to your Adobe
Creative Cloud Library, or you can save it to a local Drive-In.
Attach it to an email or send it via Google Drive.
I'm just going to use the local templates folder and I'm going to
hit. Okay.
Now I'm going to go to the Premiere Pro beta remember you have to be
using the public Beta app to be able to use this and you need to go up to
Beta and make sure that the enabled media replacement in Motion Graphics
templates is enabled.
So then from the essential Graphics panel, I'm going to search for
sponsored by hexagon and here.
We can drag and drop our sponsored by hexagon on top of our footage and
you can select it.
And now from the edit tab, we can then customize this.
So if we wanted to bring it up, we can go down to position and bring
this up if we want to replace this logo.
Let's say with our gal logo.
We can just drag and drop it on top of it to replace it and it will
import a replaced media but you'll notice that because we have the
color fill on it.
Just made it white, right?
So we need to turn that off and now we can see our logo.
So if you want to change the position or the scale of this logo, you can
use the parameters that we added here.
So you can scale this up and you can reposition it using these position
controls.
We can change the outline color to be the color of this purple if we want
to and if we wanted the fill to be a white color going to make that white
and then change the sponsored by text color to a black color so you can
really customize it to your own and then you can just render it by
hitting enter.
and here's what it looks like with our media replacement so this is
going to save YouTubers and video editors a ton of time if they want
to use the same sponsored by graphic but customize it with the brand that
sponsoring the video and the colors of that brand so if this Motion
